Abolish ICE

I was back at 26 Federal Plaza today, where an ICE agent violently threw this bereft woman to the ground in front of her kids. She had not touched him. She did not pose any threat. She had to be taken to the hospital. (🎥: Elias Eliahu)

Anyone who still thinks we’re headed toward authoritarianism needs to wake up. We’re already there.

Trump wants us to remain silent and roll over as he goes after his critics. We will not. Patriots must unite to defend our democracy.

Finally, this cold-blooded murderer has been arrested.

Since he is white and Christian, we can not blame his entire race, religion, or ethnic background for this heinous act.

So after days of Republicans blaming and vilifying Democrats and trans people for Kirk’s murder despite having no clue who the person was, we find out it’s a white guy from a Republican family in Utah who loved guns.
